Just jumped from Reddit and trying to find my way around. Quick question: I signed up at lemmy.world, and I can subscribe to ‘local’ communities, but I’d really like to subscribe to the Linux community on lemmy.ml. Is thot possible?
And what are a group of Lemmy users called? Are we Lemmings? Jumped off the end of the Reddit cliff and ended up here?
it is possible you can go visit a community from another instance and stuff and subscribe to it
also we don’t have a name yet but some people suggested lemmings, I think it sounds alright but
I cast my vote for lemmings 🗳️ :) Sounds friendlier than other alternative I’ve seen
I also like lemmings. I saw someone somewhere suggest “cliffs” as a name for subs/communities because of the (unfair) connection to lemmings.
if you’re on desktop you can hit the explore communities button, hit the all tab, and view all communities that have federated with lemmy world. From there you can also subscribe to them.
Set sorting to New if it’s newer community.
Some didn’t show to me if default ‘Top’ sorting was set.
good tip
Yes, it’s possible. Just search for the community here and it will show up as “community@lemmy.ml”
Cool, thank you all!
Also, any app recommendations?
Mlem for IOS. Jerboa for Android. These are the only 2 that I know.
My favorite is Fedizen. It’s a big big world…
Lemmings excludes kbin so no good. At one point there was a lemmyverse now threadiverse. I really have no idea. Fedizens works.
Everybody on the fediverse is a Fedizen and additionally every user of Lemmy is a lemming
